Here we go again. Another trust fund baby wanting to take services away from average Americans, many of whom are struggling just to get by. With another government shutdown looming, the so-called "Freedom Caucus" is angry at their new House Speaker Mike Johnson for defying the wingnuts on a budget deal:

With a week until a partial government shutdown, House Speaker Mike Johnson is defying the right wing of his party – at the potential risk of his job – to stay the course on a spending deal set with Democrats.

"Our topline agreement remains," Johnson told reporters Friday, after a tumultuous 24 hours that threw the stability of the deal into question. "We are getting our next steps together and we are working toward a robust appropriations process."

However, the path to avoid a shutdown is still unclear as Johnson has not yet agreed to extend Congress' deadline, despite the near impossibility of meeting it.

Congress has two staggered government funding deadlines ahead on Jan. 19 and Feb. 2. On Sunday, Johnson and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer agreed on an overall spending level for the appropriations bills, but little else has been done. Multiple members of both House and Senate appropriations committees have said they cannot meet the Jan. 19 deadline given the timeframe.

You can read the rest of the article for some of the infighting going on among House Republicans. Here's Matt Gaetz during an appearance on Steve Bannon's War Room, demanding cuts to the Department of Health and Human Services as part of the deal and lying that funding the department somehow causes inflation.

GAETZ: Yeah, we don't have the votes because, look, the Health and Human Services spending bill, we want deeper cuts there than our Republican colleagues are willing to go along with. Democrats want no cuts.

So you get the Republicans who get weak-kneed at the thought of any spending reductions joining with the Democrats, and those of us who are trying to save the American people from the inflation and the spending find ourselves short.

We had a vote on the agriculture spending bill, and unfortunately, we had a lot of our Republicans bail on us there as well, so it's not enough just to engage the process. You have to know where you're going.

As David Edwards noted at Raw Story:

The Department of Health and Human Services provides social services, including helping Americans to find health insurance coverage and Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF).

"The mission of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is to enhance the health and well-being of all Americans, by providing for effective health and human services and by fostering sound, sustained advances in the sciences underlying medicine, public health, and social services," the department's website states.
